Examining Morphological Differences of Quranic Words in Recitation Schools

Researchers of Quranic sciences have pointed out various reasons for the difference in the recitation of some Quranic words, such as the lack of codified punctuation and Arabization rules in the first centuries of Hijri. These reasons have been discussed in detail in ancient sources, especially in works titled “Hujjah al-Qira’at”. Based on these sources, the difference in recitations in the appearance or root of some words can be scientifically justified based on the rules of Arabic grammar and also according to the semantic and structural context of the verses. In this research, we have tried to divide the morphological differences of the ten famous Qurra’s into fourteen categories and then based on the ancient Qurra’ sources, we have presented various phonetic-semantic arguments about their validity. What is meant by morphological differences is the difference in the reading of words whose analysis is related to morphological science. Some of these fourteen types are differences in feminine and masculine, differences in the root of single ternary verbs, the difference in scales of additional ternary verbs, difference in scale of different nouns, and differences in pure ternary or additional ternary verbs. We will examine these differences in the recitation of the ten recitations, and from this point of view, the current research can be considered comprehensive research; because it is not enough to read only seven reciters. The present research method is library and fundamental. The scientific and literary analysis of the difference in recitations is both in line with the explanation of the linguistic miracle of the Quran and also proves the absence of verbal and spiritual distortion of the Quran.
